By Jay Bobbin Though the last visit to "Fargo" was a while ago, it's still on the televi- sion map. Last seen in 2017, the FX drama series inspired by an Oscar-winning movie begins its pandemic-delayed fourth season with two episodes Sun - day, Sept. 27 (also streaming starting the next day on FX on Hulu). As is customary, the Emmy- and Peabody- winning show reboots with a new story and cast, with Chris Rock now heading the ensemble as a Kansas City mobster circa 1950. He strikes an accord with a rival family (a member of which is played by Jason Schwartzman) to maintain peace, but unexpected circumstances soon upset that agreement. Other characters in the new saga include a federal marshal (Timothy Olyphant, returning to FX follow - ing his run in "Justified"), a detec- tive (Jack Huston) who can't filter his impulses, and a "Rabbi" (Ben Whishaw) — per his nickname — who has his own agenda in observing what develops among the criminal competitors, within their own fami - lies in some instances. While Rock is known primarily for comedy, "Fargo" executive producer, writer and sometimes director Noah Hawley says that with Season 4, "Once I had the idea for it, I imme - diately thought of Chris. And before there was a script, I met with him and pitched him what I wanted to do, and he agreed to sign on ... and then, it was four or five months be - fore he saw a script. I definitely was writing with him in mind. I tend not to, but with Chris, he's special." Rock admits he had a big adjust - ment to make to the "Fargo" way of working. "It's intricate, the way they shoot," he notes. "The camera's al - ways moving, so it's not like comedic acting where you kind of wait for your closeup and you're like, 'OK, I'm going to give you 13 different versions of this funny thing.' This is like the New England Patriots, and you have to run the route and (expect) the ball will be there. You've got to run the exact route for it to work. The challenge is getting the part down but still getting some of my personality in there." Hawley enjoys working elements of history into any season of "Fargo," since he reflects, "The story of any family is the story of America. What we'll come to realize with this Afri - can-American man who was raised by an Irishman — who himself was raised by both Jews and Italians — is that history is a living thing. And the way that we keep it alive is that we tell stories about our history to keep it fresh in our minds. Otherwise, we forget, so it's exciting on some level to explore." Celebrity Scoop Celebrity Scoop FX brings Chris Rock to 'Fargo' for series' fourth season Cover Story Cover Story By Jay Bobbin Like so many music stars, not only is home where the heart is for Keith Urban, it's where his princi- pal stage is now. The recent host of the 55th Academy of Country Music Awards, the award-winning singer- songwriter has been giving per - formances from his Nashville resi- dence, some of them for virtually produced television specials. One is the iHeartRadio Music Festival, which goes the virtual route with its 10th annual edition — recorded in Los Angeles as well as Nashville — as The CW televises it Sunday and Monday, Sept. 27 and 28. "This has come at a time in his - tory when we have technology to make things possible that weren't possible even 10 years ago," reasons Urban, whose "The Speed of Now Part 1" is his latest album. "I mean, who knew about Zoom before all of this? Not me, and now, that's a word I rattle off as quickly as Checking in with Keith Urban 'Google.' It's unbelievable how fast we've all adapted." Ryan Seacrest retains his tradi- tional spot as host of this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival, which also includes BTS, Usher, Miley Cyrus, Coldplay, Thomas Rhet, Migos and Kane Brown "with spe- cial guest" Khalid in its lineup. For Urban, the show is one more manifestation of how much things have changed for him and his family, including wife Nicole Kid- man, over the past several months. "We've been very fortunate to be healthy, which is No, 1," he reflects, "and to be able to stay to- gether and stay creative, and to stay helpful where we can. We've just tried to take the approach of lean- ing into the light as best we can. That's the way I try to live."
